Right now it looks like there are no milestones for 1/11, but I think I'm going to try to post here every day anyway. This way, if I miss someone and I have posted to say there are no milestones, they'll know I'm full of shit and can pm me to issue a correction. It also lets people know that we're on the case.

edit - also, if I DON'T post here on any given day, they will know to be like 'WTF' dude.

I tried putting in the vertical bar (over the backslash key on my keyboard) but everything after the bar disappeared. Obviously it works since you did it in your earlier post. Maybe one of the other tags is interfering. I'll experiment tomorrow with using just text and then add the tags and see where it goes wrong.

WCG reports stats 4 times a day. The next one I think will be at 3AM, maybe 2am, I can never remember. When they're reported, Free-dc (and Boinc-stats) will grab them and update their database.

Also, points aren't awarded until a wu result has been validated and sometimes that can take several days. That's not usually though. I'd say that at least half the time the results will be validated almost immediately.

Log in to wcg and go to my grid, then my results. They are reported there in real time.

Sort by return time rather than sent or due times and the completed wu's should appear first. You can also filter by host (cpu), project, status and something else I think.

The "MileStones" say that hms1193 passes 500.. Shouldn't it be "hms1193 passes 6000"??

No, no, no. But that's an understandable mistake. It's a long story but for various reasons, 1 boinc point = 7 WCG points.

I know, it seems stupid, but there is a historical reason for it. WCG used to run other software that did pts calculations differently. This was maybe 4 or 5 years ago. For a while, they ran both the United Devices client and BOINC but eventually switched to BOINC only. At that point they had to reconcile the 2 systems and this conversion factor is what they came up with.

Congratulations to everyone! I'm closing in on my first 100k very quickly now that I have my parents' new pc crunching in the home. You might see my numbers slow down just a hair, I've decided that I can't punt the addiction of WoW quite yet. Just succumbed and bought Cataclysm tonight.
